It sounds like you are talking to your Unix system. Many Unix systems
translate an incoming break into the interrupt character (apparently ^C
in your case) when in cooked mode. In raw mode, you get a null (or
perhaps several). There is no easy way for a user program to distinguish a
break from legitimate character input.
To answer your question directly - I use a terminal packet switch that
requires <break> to enter its command mode. It works fine when I hit
<enter> on my old keyboard on my 512e (new ROMs).
